In a major expansion of the Encore Fellows program, Intel is offering its active U.S. employees who are eligible to retire the chance to apply for Encore Fellowships.
Retiring Intel Corp. retirees who don’t want to sit idle can now spend up to a year lending their skills to a nonprofit under a new paid fellowship program. The Santa Clara, Calif.-based chip-maker – Oregon’s largest private employer – said it will be part of a major pilot program for Encore Fellowships, a project by Civic Ventures.
Encore Fellowships are getting a big boost, as Intel makes such fellowships available to all its U.S. employees eligible for retirement. Employees accepted into the program will receive a $25,000 annual stipend, funded by Intel, along with six months of health benefits if they bring their professional skills to nonprofits on a full- or part-time basis.
